Playing in time

John Scofield is one of the most respected players in my books, his is this rare superstar personality who is willing to incorporate contemporary technology into his set up- the Boomerang PS is proof (among others). However, as a mark of a disciplined performer, Mr. Scofield had incorporated a digital clock into his pedal board. This speaks volume about himself, the need to keep some accomplishments & tasks within the prescribed time frame & observing minimal disruption at that. Respect!

Listen to your pedal board- no kidding...

Here's a neat little ditty by SKB (the makers of that indestructible guitar hard case, among others)- the Footnote pedal board. It lets you hear you pedals (yes- integrated driver included) before you actually hook up the entire board to an amp. This way, you can mess with your knobs before performing knowing you have that limited tinkering time when your turn is up. As at time of posting, this product is not available here (yet).
